Suspicious? There's An App for it!

iPhone Snitch Network Launched

Citizen Concepts announces the launch of PatriotAppTM, the world’s first iPhone application that empowers citizens to assist government agencies in creating safer, cleaner, and more efficient communities via social networking and mobile technology. This app was founded on the belief that citizens can provide the most sophisticated and broad network of eyes and ears necessary to prevent terrorism, crime, environmental negligence, or other malicious behavior.

Simply download, report (including pictures) and submit information to relevant government agencies, employers, or publish incident data to social network tools.
Ugh!

Don't suspect your neighbor. Report them.

Can be used to report nefarious and illegal acts by government agents as well, I assume.

If I had an iPhone I would use the app to report government waste in the form of buying the scanners. I could also report assault (gropings) at the checkpoint.

Take that Muslim neighbors! What's that? You're not Muslim, you are just wearing a robe to conceal your automatic weapon (for hunting)? Well, that seems normal to me. Sorry, let me retract that report.

Then whatever you do, don't go to their website.
The goals of Citizen Concepts are to:

* Provide instruction and increase consistency in actions while decreasing variance in human behavior to mitigate risk and error
Good G*d Almighty.

Ah wait, this is another joke site. Isn't it ?

I was wondering where to report that crazy guy a couple of blocks over with all the inflatable Christmas decorations in his yard. I was gonna notify a Walmart associate about his human behavior variance, but it'll be much easier to just use my Iphone app.

At least the reviews for the app on iTunes are uniformly negative.

Talking

Now hold on a sec, I think this could actually be useful. Just take a look at this screenshot:




We need to do our part by reporting:

Suspicious Activity Screeners wandering around the parking garage looking into cars.

Crime Report Let them know of the latest Isolated Incident™ of a screener getting arrested for theft, sexual assault, attempted murder, etc.

Product Safety Radiation emitting from Nude-O-Scopes.

Environmental Safety "Dangerous" liquids being disposed of in common garbage cans at the checkpoint.

Government Waste $7.8 billion dollars down the tubes in the 2011 TSA budget (The budget is actually $8.6 billion next year, but I'm subtracting what was spent on screening in 2000, with an "extra" $50 million thrown in for inflation).

Pandemic Screeners seen not changing their gloves between genital grope or bag rifling sessions.

Where does it say their goal is to decrease variance in human behaviour? I need to see this with my own eyes, unless you're joking.

I found it...OMG...
